07:30 and underway. The crew is well rested, over fed and in good spirits. Less than a foot chop, sunshine and little wind.

Luck was not with me. The channel was running just over 4 knots and I did not feel I could safely get in. I sat and jogged in the current for about an hour, enough time for the current to drop to just over 3 knots and plenty of time to see exactly what it was doing next to the new breakwater. I made it in without fanfare, but there is a rather narrow line that will be required to follow when the current is chugging. With the full moon, we were pushing a good ten foot of water in the exchange.
